 
| The Dream Trip to China is for people who believe that life is a spiritual adventure. It is for souls that hunger for the riches of ancient wisdom in faraway lands, and seek to merge them into the present moment. "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,but by the places and moments that take our breath away". | Led by Michael Winn Michael is founder and Director, Healing Tao University, past two-term President of the National Qigong Association, and an experienced traveler who has been to over 100 countries. He is an ex-war correspondent in Africa & Asia turned spiritual guide – exploring the shadow and light sides of humanity.

Trip Co-Stars: Everyone who comes on the trip! Why are China Dream Trips so special, and very different from typical tourist trips? We attract a fabulous group of Tao-minded spiritual adventurers. Not mere curiosity seekers or jaded tourists, but fascinating folks who are excited about literally following in the footsteps of Lao tzu and doing powerful qigong ceremonies in China's highest spiritual energy spots.After every Dream Trip is the same refrain: "the incredible people I met and grew to love were as important as China itself". This is the kind of trip where you make lifetime friends - or might find your soul mate. China Dream Trip Mission: "To experience the spiritual essence of China. To meet & study with spiritually powerful Taoists. To do qigong in its most sacred and beautiful landscapes and connect to its ancestral chi. To deeply taste China's ancient culture and peoples, and feast on its local cuisines at sumptuous banquets. To share the very best secrets I discovered on previous trips to China — before it disappears in China's madly modern rush to forget its rich history. In short, The Dream China Trip I would give to myself, if I could only visit China once.This trip explores new riches not offered on the previous Dream Trips, including Tao Garden in Northern Thailand. The trips are designed to keep the door open between Western and Asian Taoist adepts, and to deepen the ground of our personal practice. Our qigong practice will connect us to the uniquely powerful Qi currents flowing in China's sacred mountains. If your heart feels drawn to China's mystery, I advise you to trust your soul's guidance, and trust the Tao will supply the time and resources to GO."
- Michael Winn A few succinct testimonials from earlier Dream trips (longer testimonials below, after the itinerary): "I am still unpacking the chi from my unforgettable experiences doing qigong in China's sacred mountains. This trip gave me continuous ecstasy, amazing landscapes, superb food and powerful sacred temples and monasteries - all with a crazy bunch of warm-hearted western adepts accompanied by a premium group of Tao immortals! Thank you all for such an extraordinary experience!" - Aurelio, Mexico City "The Qi (chi) I experienced in China was simply mind blowing. I got a transmission from being in those mountains that has totally opened up new levels of my inner vision." - Mark, Fla. "Thanks seems extremely insufficient to express my gratitude to you for making this trip to China possible - but, anyway, please accept my sincere gratitude. It was the most powerful experience of my life and continues to have a palpable moment-to-moment effect upon me." — Very Happy Camper "I can't begin to tell you how much we enjoyed the trip and what a profound effect it had on us and our practice" - Couple with minimal previous qigong experience "Thank you, thank you, thank you! You have been the gateway to what my soul was seeking for. This China trip is a milestone in my life, a profound spiritual development. Each time I think about you and the group my heart beats faster and a big unstoppable smile takes over!The outer trip was set up perfectly, to make our inner spiritual trip go perfectly! From start of the trip to the end, it was like yin and yang making love… it was so beautiful! Poetic…simply magnificent! - 2nd generation Chinese man, living in Toronto 2010 DREAM TRIP HIGHLIGHTS  Mantak Chia, Healing Tao founder- Follow your "Way" to China, on a Journey designed to be a life-changing spiritual experience. We visit the "must-see" highlights of China but focus on using Qigong to develop a profound "earth connection" - in mountains where Taoist adepts have cultivated chi for thousands of years. You'll feel super-grounded, ready to follow your deepest Life Path.
- Climb on three of China's most powerful sacred mountains. Breathtaking Mt. Hua ("the Taoist Yosimite") bursts with yang chi. Gentle Mt. Azure (Qingcheng) seduces with its soft yin chi. Mt. Wudang impresses with its immensity. All three are soaked in Taoist history.
- Learn and practice 800 year old lineage Primordial Qigong (aka Tai Chi for Enlightenment) on Wudang Mountain, where it was first taught by Taoist Sage Chang San Feng, who also created Tai Chi. It's an amazing form that combines qigong, inner alchemy, feng shui, and tai chi. Get free DVD in advance.
Group practice at Taoist "sacred power" sites is very, very empowering. This form feels different in China. Don't miss this unique opportunity to practice it on Mt. Wudang. Tao Immortals such as Chang San Feng, who originally transmitted the form, are likely to show up! - Regular daily qigong training in China by Michael Winn, and by local teachers where available. Currently planned is training at Mt. Qingcheng by Chen Yuming, former vice abbot of Huashan, a highly achieved inner alchemy adept. He will give a transmission on the "Tao of keeping to the energetic Middle". We are arranging teachings on Huashan and Wudangshan as well.
- Training by Michael Winn in the rare and ancient shamanic Seven Star Big Dipper Qigong Ceremony, from the Ni Xian Pai or "Path of the Female Immortals" lineage. Mantak Chia will be practicing this form with us on Mt. Wudang. Last year our Dream Trip visited Tao Garden and he learned it. It combines beautifully with his method of absorbing purple chi from the Pole Star.
This Big Dipper shamanic qigong generates a very special and powerful chi field. It was used in ancient times to build a protective field around one's community or before going into battle. The Pole Star and the 7 Big Dipper stars are said to control human destiny. Are you ready to take control of your destiny?
We will practice this Shamanic Star Qigong, together with the wuji gong (Tai Chi for Enlightenment) form, throughout the trip. They generate an amazing synergy!
